RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

My first ever rc10 fresh off of craigslist. not sure what direction i wanna go with this yet. Any fresh ideas guys? And yes its on my kitchen table lol, its my work bench for now.

looks like a great canidate for a good cleaning and resto. Whats the bottom look like? If the bottom is as clean as the top that would make a nice lookin original build shelfer...and thats a rarity for me to say that.

Not too bad. has some road rash back by the motor and on the ncose plate,but it is an A stamp car i learned today

that looks like a really nice preserved lightgold pan. Clean white parts and doesn't look beat all too badly. Its yours to do what you want with but that would be a nice example of something I would put a nice body with a retro paint scheme on. Search out some new rubber and call it a shelfer that you take out to run mildly once in awhile. Just my opinion anyway. thanx for sharing

Todd

Thanks man ,i think im gonna do that and get somthin else to run around with,I hate too mess with it too much i dont wanna tear it up runnin it arround .I was gonna go bl lipo with it just to mess around but i think il get somethin else for that now. Chris, tulsa oklahoma

Chris, tulsa oklahoma,
that would be a good idea if you have the ability. Only reason why I say that is by the time you go brushless on this one is I would change out that 6gear for a stealth so you could upgrade the topshaft/slipper assy to a b4. Change out the front end for a wide front end (arms/turnbuckles). again, these are my opinions if you were to go brushless on it for a bare starting point. If this was pretty modded up or thrashed pretty bad I wouldn't have any problems running it the way it was but I have a soft spot for these narrow front arm cars with the light gold anodizing. I'm sure someone will come in and throw some opinions in besides me...hopefully .

Thats a very nice car! Those light colored gold pans are hard to find in good condition unless your name is Ruffy! I would clean it up and shelf it. There are many not so nice cars that can be had for cheap that would make for a better runner.

Nice find!

Thanks guys. i almost cant stand to look at it on a shelf i wanna take it out and play so bad .

just invest in some chassis tape and take it easy, you can still run it around.

I just pulled out 3 of these and am gonna go original for one of them and set one up for the track. Here's a pic of one after I cleaned and put it back together.

What's the scoop with Andy's suspension kit? Is it a lift?

I am open to ideas and resources to locate parts and will trade any extras I have to folks looking for something special - thanks and I am new to forums so if this is in the wrong place please advise and I will try my best to get going in the right spot.

thanks

welcome pj81 to the madness. First thing to do would be to read thru here:
http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=154
after that you'll find all kinds of info you need on this board along with all the info there is here on Andy's stuff.

I cant look at this thing on a shelf. when i get access to the bst. section prob just put it on there so it can go to a good home where some one will get more out of it than me.prob trade for somthin that i can race at the local track and not worry about tearin it up

Thanks! I saw that and am just new to sites like this
